Evelina Paediatric Urodynamics Course 2025

This two day face to face course will start by covering normal childhood bladder and bowel anatomy and function along with an outline of Bladder Bowel dysfunction (BBD). The bulk of the course will cover urodynamic assessment of BBD both with non-invasive strategies such as Diaries, Uroflowmetry (together with use of EMG) and ultrasound scanning, and invasive urodynamics to include videourodynamics and ambulatory urodynamics. Practical demonstration along with work-shop scenarios will be provided along with case studies. We will not concentrate much on treatment but will provide demonstration of superficial neuromodulation such as TENS and the principles/practice of Biofeedback treatment.

Atlas of Male Genitourethral Surgery – The Illustrated Guide

This is a surprisingly good text which I am sure will represent a useful addition to anyone’s library. It is most likely to be sought after by those in higher surgical training grades who are seeking that all-important exposure to...
